Groups on both sides of the argument over the suspension of Scotland
High School teacher Shari Eicher are drawing lines and digging trenches.

Mrs. Eicher, who is a practicing Pagan, says she was sent home
from her job because of her religious beliefs. She was suspended indefinitely
with pay on Monday afternoon.

Local attorney Michael Schmidt sent a letter also signed by six
ministers to school board members charging that a web site maintained by
Mrs. Eicher and her husband, Richard, violate child-protection laws.
